That's a pretty sweet front end. It would look good on a 30-31 Model A Ford retro-rod.
Cool bodywork, relatively easy fab with no tooling required. Running Schwinn Sting Ray chopper rear wheels!

Timely post. Leno's garage just featured another old hybrid, the 1980 Briggs & Stratton. It is an unusually awful video from Leno but still I like seeing cars in action that I've only previously seen static in print so I'm glad it's out there. Actually, the car's performance sucks pretty badly too in many aspects. I think B&S may be preparing to unveil some new electric goodies, maybe even a new hybrid concept, due to the suspicious (to me) nature of this which has the feel of a press release.
